He indicates that any individual or government who calls into question or endangers leadership and unity of the world Islamic community (Oummah) must be considered as a “warlord” or a “mohareb”, defined as someone who makes war on God.

This is not the first time that Iranian clerics have used fatwas to encourage violence.

The most infamous case was the 1989 decree against author Salman Rushdie after the release of his novel “The Satanic Versets”, which many Muslims considered offensive. That Fatwa forced Rushdie to hide, led to the murder of a Japanese translator and several attacks against the publishers of the book. Rushdie has survived several assassination attempts since then, including a stab attack in 2023 in the state of New York in which he lost an eye.
